Just keep posting to all the different blogs. MAKE YOUR VOICES BE HEARD SO OTHERS WILL NOT HAVE TO SUFFER-- THEY ARE LIARS

I have been with uiu since August and have had quite a few inquiries and two weekend bookings which is pretty good. Their not as good as Vrbo though, but in my experience nobody can quite hit their height for the vacation home owners stand point. I usually give most websites a chance, paying no more than a year if that is an option and taking advantage of any free trials, and this website is pretty good. This is just my 2 cents, and I am not saying any of the criticism is wrong because I have not done as much research as some people on this blog. But where I would not say united in uniform is the greatest website of all time for bookings, I would also not say it is the worse. Middle ground for my home so far. IMHO.

Anyone know anywhere as competitive as VRBO for inquiries? I'm desperate to find another website like this but nothing so far. Any advice? If I could figure out how to start a new thread I would, how do I do that?

KK- I'm new to Flipkey, and have had more "real" serious inquiries in 2 weeks from them than the last 2 months from VRBO, and am reserving several weeks right now . But, it may very well be where our homes are located.

So far, FK's customer service is great. I feel like I'm back in the old VRBO days, dealing with them. And, they allow me to manage my own VR home - which I do quite well.

msdebj. Not trying to start a conspiracy, but I understand what you mean by "real" inquiries from Flip Key. I find a lot of inquiries from vrbo are not as "strong" as flip key. I love good customer service too...I hate this world we're getting into where everything is done on FAQ's. I hate FAQs! I want a phone number to call and speak to a direct human being. Am I alone on this? Or does anyone else feel the same? I would say though Flip Key are the leader in customer service.

KK- not to make this a chatroom, but I had to respond to you. I've noticed a change (slow, but neverless a change) in the direction of the dreaded FAQ stuff with several companies I do business with. Even my banking insitutions now offer REAL people, with functional Help Desks. I've learned that the only way paying customers can have real impact is to vote with their feet. Anyone who thinks it can't be done only need look at Verizon, BofA, HP and Dell - to name a few. All have either rolled back "new improvements" or made policy changes due to customer outcry. I just wish HA had as much respect for it's real income source- it's advertisers.

msdebj, that news is reassuring. But it's the way it should be. I would rather go with a company that I could simply call when I need help with something. There's nothing worse than when something is going wrong, I need an immediate response, and the contact us button asks me to leave a message. It's so frustrating when someone emails you an answer a week later when its too late. I really think if customers keep paying money to the companies that provide this, then the others will have to adapt and one day I will be able to simple give a call to the "Homeaway Hotline". Sounds pretty catchy actually.

Couldn't agree more and i have never met anyone who prefers this online system. Websites like Flip Key, united in uniform, and rentalo all have direct numbers you can call and speak to directly. Home Away and VRBO, where strong in most aspects of the industry, should really take note and consider giving the advertisers a contact number. The united in uniform site gives you a personal representative who you can email and call whenever for advice and I think a lot of other websites are heading this way. Makes sense to me, deviate the responsibility to one person that way your always on the same page. Homeaway Hotline sounds very nice to me!

"jmarsh86". I was going to suggest Flip Key but you said you're already with them. I think you're taking advantage of all the good websites out there after I click on your profile, you're certainly deeper in the game than me! I like to wheel deal and look for bargains. I like Homeaway and VRBO as well though. Sure, they don't have a phone number to call, but they have the results to back it up. Flip Key is on the way up though....they're definitely doing something right. Jmarsh86, I would just google "best places to advertise vacation rental" or start a forum on this community asking this question, I'm sure people will jump in with suggestions. I hope this helps!

Progers, its really simple to change a picture. Just click on your name in the top right corner and then click on profile. Once there, you just click the option on the right that says change picture or avatar. Its kind of hidden so I know why you maybe had a hard time finding it. Thanks for your input and information on good advertising sites. I think I will just stay with what I have until I hear something else.
